Queen of the Mountains

The brainchild of Alicia Bamford, Queen of the Mountains (not to be confused with Australian brand Queen of the Mountain) launched via a Kickstarter campaign in February 2016. Its aims are twofold. According to Bamford, "the ethos behind the brand is to inspire and empower women to ride. I want women to feel confident when they’re on the bike, to set challenges for themselves and to encourage other women to ride as well. There are two key areas of focus for the brand. Firstly, making beautiful pieces of performance clothing, specifically designed for the female form and secondly, building a community of women riders, starting in London, which will hopefully be expanding to other cities in the UK and also overseas."
Bamford took her time getting the range together, working with a team to ensure the products looked right and performed to the standard she expected. "It has taken over a year to get each piece specifically designed, tested and produced ready for our female riders," she says.
The Queen of the Mountains range consists of a series of jerseys and shorts plus gilets and jackets featuring stylish prints and a combination of bold and pastel colours. The result is a sophisticated-looking selection of kit that can be mixed and matched throughout the range.
